Ruiz bought her Sapphire 7s ticket from the Royal Stop on Eastway Drive in Charlotte.

She claimed her prize Thursday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal tax withholdings, she took home $129,500.

I believe Richmond county is left out of big winning tickets. Haven't heard of a big win here for a long time. I'm just starting to grab a scratch off here lately with my change left over. But as usual, no wins on the Christmas theme ones. MERRY Christmas to all of y'all and a goodnight.
